Need advice on my options.
My fiancee currently lives in canada (she is a canadian citizen). My federal labor is almost near approval stage. I am going to filing for concurrent processing(required by firm). And lastly my H1 (first 3yrs of visa) is expiring in June2003. So just
wondering what you guys think is my best options to include my fiancee in my petition. I understand she cannot be added
as a fiancee and I will have to do court marriage. Questions
1)Can I file for I140/485 and do a court marriage later on and then add my spouse to my application. Is there a time
contraint till when I can do this. Also once I add her into the application, can she leave the country. If yes for how long.
Keep in mind H1 is expiring in June. And also if she can leave until June, and I get my H1 visa re-newed, can she leave again?
)If scenrio 1 is not advisable, then I do a court marriage before I file for I140/485 and include her. Can she leave until I June I guess. How long does she need to be in US when I am renewing my H1. Once H1 is renewed can she leave again?
All this mess because we are trying to have our marriage ceremony in December
So help fellows!
